Inside Attivo: Culture of Flexibility
Welcome to Inside Attivo, a multi-part series that follows the core values and practices that make Attivo Partners an exceptional place to work. In this series, we’ll explore important topics like flexibility, remote work, onboarding, professional development, and more.
At Attivo, we are deeply committed to professional excellence, innovation, and fostering a supportive atmosphere for our team. Our values and policies have matured alongside our growth, forming the cornerstone of our success. Follow along as we share insights, testimonies, and stories that highlight how our culture enables our team members to thrive professionally and personally.
At Attivo, flexibility isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of life. We understand that balancing work and everyday life demands can be challenging, so we've created a culture that genuinely embraces flexibility. Whether it's fitting in a morning workout, managing school drop-offs, or coordinating dinner with a partner, our flexible work style allows our employees to enjoy a great deal of freedom in designing their workday. Of course, we still meet client needs and internal responsibilities, but we believe that allowing our team to be creative with their schedules produces the best outcome for employees and clients alike.
Why Attivo's Culture Stands Out
Together, we've fostered a workplace culture that puts our team first. With the right resources, policies, and opportunities, our team can create a work-life balance that fits the needs of their world. By fostering skilled, collaborative teams, we make flexible work a reality, helping us attract and keep the best talent in the accounting and financial services industry.
Our Core Values and Tools Drive Flexibility
Attivo employees often work with multiple clients across different time zones, and our teams are primarily remote. Our success comes from our core values, commitments, and collaboration tools. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do because we know it's essential for delivering outstanding results to our clients. We pride ourselves on clear communication with clients and each other, and we make sure to reinforce these values daily through our work and regular in-person team meet-ups.
We rely on a best-in-class remote work tech stack that we're constantly fine-tuning to make our employees' jobs more accessible and efficient. This ensures that they have everything they need to support our clients and achieve success.
Balancing Life's Realities with Work
Life happens—childcare, family emergencies, errands, and staying healthy are all part of the mix. Thanks to Attivo's flexible work environment, our team can handle these challenges without missing a beat.
Embracing Parental Leave
Our co-founders know firsthand the challenges of starting and raising a family. That's why Attivo offers various options for parental leave and returning to work, including part-time reentry. Here's what some of our team members have to say:
"When I was coming back from parental leave, I wasn't rushed back into a full schedule of clients. It was a good transition back to work; Attivo made sure I was ready and comfortable. Now that I know how supportive my team is, I can feel at ease when on leave with my next child. It's a relief to know Attivo stands by their commitment." – Controller at Attivo.
"Attivo's paternity leave was much better than what my state requires. Because Attivo doesn't adjust its parental leave policy down to state requirements, I was able to take more time to be with my newborn son. It was special." – Sr Accounting Manager at Attivo.
"When I first came back from maternity leave, we had a gap in child care on Fridays. I was able to schedule my client meetings Monday through Thursday so that I could care for my son on Fridays. I loved that I got that time with him, especially when he was at such a young age." – Sr Accounting Manager at Attivo.
Trust at work comes from consistency and excellence. At Attivo, we earn trust daily with our clients and each other. Knowing that we can rely on each other makes it easier to enjoy a flexible work schedule or take time off when needed.
"I took a vacation with my son, but I knew there was a potential diligence matter that might need attention while I was away. So, I went to some of my peers and asked if anyone would be available to cover for me, and I was shocked at how many people were willing to step up. It worked out well because someone did need to step in and help while I was out. We fulfilled the diligence requirements and the client was happy, and that was reassuring for me if I ever wanted to take time out of the office like that again." – Controller at Attivo.
Our dedication to flexible and remote work is a core part of Attivo's culture and success. By investing in our people, we attract and retain some of the best talent in the industry.
